film breaking news casting edgar wright focus features last night in soho camilla james

With a recent sex tape and more nude photos released in the third batch of leaks from a 4chan-led hack that has hit dozens of celebrities in recent weeks, Edgar Wright is rumored to be considering a replacement for actress Camilla James in his upcoming psychological thriller, Last Night in Soho.

Coming off the heels of critically acclaimed Baby Driver, Wright co-wrote with Penny Dreadful scribe Krysty Wilson-Cairns. Details about the film are scant, which is being produced by Nira Park, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Wright.

Focus Features and Film4 are co-financing, with Focus Features and Universal Pictures International distributing the film worldwide. The film recently added additional cast in Leave No Trace's Thomasin McKenzie and The Crown's Matt Smith.

With Baby Driver's success, sources think Wright may be looking for an actress with less tabloid fodder attached to her name so as not to overshadow the film itself, especially given James is rumored to be playing the lead role.

Reps for Wright and James have declined to comment.
